The conclusion was, to leave the proposed supply curve as it was, we felt it was the right balance between satisfying existing holders by ensuring not too much inflation whilst attracting future holders with enough supply.
These are not 2 opposing goals which need to be balanced, they are the same goal! If you can satisfy existing holders then you will also get the new investors, because the value goes up which attracts more people. If you can't satisfy holders or increase the value of the coin then why would anyone want to become a holder?
The thing is that we already know, because the coin and similar inflation model has been out for a while, that the current model can do neither. Nobody wants to buy, and 1 btc in the buy order list is effectively a collapsed coin. The fact that the market hasn't picked up since the announcement means nobody has confidence or wants to buy into this model. You may say it needs marketing, but if none of the existing people following it think it's worth buying then you're not likely to find new ones either.
I don't understand why 20% a month is “not too much inflation”, if you can help us understand this then maybe we can give the idea some support. Can you give examples of any other coins which have been successful with similar levels of long term inflation?
By that I mean in the modern coin world after the rise of PoS.
Hey thank you for your feedback. Our whole point is we are trying to get the coin in control first. The old dev refuses to change anything on the core features of the coin so a lot of old investors are already left / dumped their holding.
The market won't response immediately to our announcement because we actually still doesn't show anything new to improve the coin and our marketing campaign doesn't start yet. Almost no new investors know about Talkcoin or Talkcoin's news.
The inflation model we use is from Bitcoin/Litecoin/Dogecoin and a lot of others. We didn't say it is the best, but it gives the most balances inflation rate in our opinions. We have tried to simulate a lot of other models but still this one gives us the best feeling about the future of the coin.
Last but not least, the new model gives better control about inflation rate than the current voting model. If we don't change this, the block reward might stay the same forever or one person could easy manipulate for a lot of higher block reward when the price rises, which potentially could give a risk for all investors.
